Cruise the Caribbean

This post was sponsored by Princess Cruises. All opinions and experiences outlined are my own.

My love for traveling to the Caribbean is no secret! I have had the pleasure of cruising with Princess Cruises twice now and our family plans on returning, hopefully with our boys soon now that they know what fun we have when we’re away.

Now is the Time to Travel

Recently my heart was just broken for the people of the Caribbean whom I have come to love and respect, when their very homes were hit with category 3, 4, and 5 hurricanes and tropical storms during the 2017 hurricane season. Did you know that NOW is a perfect time to visit the Caribbean, and a Princess Cruises vacation is a great way to experience and enjoy one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations.

Hurricane Relief

Princess Cruises and its parent company Carnival Corporation are working to provide extensive relief to those affected by Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Maria as part of Carnival Corporation’s pledge to provide up to $10 million dollars in hurricane relief.

Tourism is critical for Caribbean economies, and cruising is a vital part of tourism’s overall economic impact.

The Caribbean is Open for Travel

The Caribbean expands over one million square miles which means most of the islands were not even in the path of the hurricanes this past August and September. 90% of Caribbean ports are fully open for business – including restaurants, shops, beaches and activities!

Love the Caribbean. Support the Caribbean. Cruise the Caribbean.

One of the best ways to support these relief efforts is through tourism. Unfortunately, there are some misconceptions about travel to the area and the state of the islands, when, in reality, the Caribbean is open for travel. You can also help the relief efforts by making a donation. Princess Cruises Community Foundation will be taking donations until 12/31/17.
